The gardens of the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh stretch over 10 beautifully maintained acres at the foot of the Royal Mile, offering a serene escape. These gardens serve as the setting for royal events, such as the Queen’s annual garden party, which welcomes thousands of guests each summer. Rich with history, the gardens are believed to have been cultivated since the 16th century, and today, you can admire the sweeping lawns, vibrant flower beds, and the romantic ruins of Holyrood Abbey, which stand dramatically nearby. A hidden feature many miss is the ancient sundial, dating back to 1633, tucked among the greenery. With Arthur’s Seat rising behind it, the gardens blend royal grandeur with the wild beauty of the Scottish landscape, making them a truly magical place to explore. And now also, one tiny penguin stone resides here as you waddle around and see a statue of a fiddler on the left is a tree, and there the penguin stone rests.
